Yes, I have been too harsh in my own statements. What indeed is wrong with
menioning women who crotchet?

I think he is two-thirds qualified, which is perfect indeed. Some growth
room there, but that is also perfect.

I cannot like that little thing for a mellee. I prefer a decent claymore,
which has no defensive qualities whatever, except it does imbue a certain
respect to anyone considering standing within its arc.

Now! Christmas is coming and I haven't bought any books for overseas
relatives, and tomorrow is December 1st!
What chess books will the group be sending, or requesting for themselves
this Yule? BTW Yule love how the Crossville Chess Cook's Compendium is
coming along, we've just done "Pate for Patzers."
Cordially, Philth.
